This field of study combines research training in neuroscience and cognitive psychology. Faculty members explore human psychology from a biological standpoint, enabling students to examine the physiological mechanisms behind learning, memory, neurological disorders, visual perception, and visuomotor coordination.
Neuroscience faculty provide instruction in neuropsychology, developmental neuroscience, neurotoxicology, and fMRI techniques.
Cognitive science specialists offer knowledge in language processing, visual and auditory perception, selective attention, and memory systems.
Program participants will enhance their critical thinking and independent research skills while maintaining effective teamwork abilities. The curriculum features a adaptable core structure that allows for specialization and focused research throughout graduate studies. Students can also partner with faculty from other psychology disciplines and related fields in social, behavioral, and biomedical sciences.
The Psychology MA program helps graduate students build comprehensive knowledge of psychological science while acquiring specialized competencies.
